INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE
LOCATION
Installation Items Needed
Before installing fireplace, make sure you have the items listed below.
external regulator (supplied by installer)
piping (check local codes)
sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
equipment shutoff valve *
test gauge connection *
sediment trap
tee joint
pipe wrench
approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by lo-
cal codes)
* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap
is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the
CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your retailer.
WARNING: A qualified service person must con-
nect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect
fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This
heater requires an external regulator (not supplied).
Install the external regulator between the fireplace
and propane/LP supply.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Installing Optional Blower Accessory (Cont.)
Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and
plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge
hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from fireplace (see Figure 31,
page 19).
IMPORTANT:
Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in
an accessible location. The main gas valve is for turning on or
shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating
equipment shutoff valve to fireplaces.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will
prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe
could result in clogged fireplace valves.
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe.
Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in cer-
tain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2"
inside diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume
to fireplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume
will occur.
For propane/LP connection only, the installer must supply an
external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas
pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and
14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure,
fireplace regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator
with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 30. Pointing the vent
down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
